Reign of Queen Elizabeth.

Queen Elizabeth lived and reigued last
night in the Stoddard lecture at Congrega
tional Church. For the story of that
mighty, most wicked, and utterly wretched
monarch was graphically and vivldly told,
and the scenes OF her grandeur and her
misery were pictured on the changeful can
vas before the eyes Of the audience. That
audience ceased to be residents of Washing
ton they had gone back through centuries,
and breathed only English air. The pleas.
ing tones Of the lecturer, his variety OF in-
cdent, his changes from giyety to grief,
from comedy to tragedy, ever Interested,
and ever promoted deep thought. In all
all the great edifce, where every seat was
filed, perfect silence and eager attention
ruled the hour. 1t was an enchantment !;
when again the full light appeared, when
Stoddard retired, when the multitude rose,
then--no, not even then did the charm dis
solve, for the recent scene retained its
actuality and noated before the vision Of
the hOmeward bound.
